    Double check that everything is secure and leaking in your bag, or you'll end up with sidewalk soup :(
    Chelsea R.

    I am very disappointed with my experience at City Soups. I love soup and this is within walking distance to work, so figured I would give this a try for what the reviews said was a good selection. Got there at 12:30 (apparently very late) and first ordered a grilled cheese, where I was surprisingly prompted to choose a size (that was not written on any of their makeshift menus, but decided on whatever the smaller size was since I was also getting soup). They were already out of the Lobster Bisque, the soup being advertised on the sandwich board outside, disappointing but not unpredictable (must be good?). The next one I wanted to try was the seafood stew, but when I looked at it I could not identify any ingredient and there was very unappetizing congealing. Honestly, nothing looked appealing, so I went for basic chicken noodle and upgraded to a 'larger' sandwich. My order got passed along from employee to employee, but not one person gave me an idea of what was going on (they have different stations but you pay somewhere in the middle and with people waiting around in different spots with no employees saying anything to anyone, it's a mess). I was at least kindly asked if I wanted a piece of bread (yes please?? Had to confirm it was free, which I would never turn down) however it got put into a bag that was not with either my soup or sandwich. After I paid, the cashier just started helping the next person. No food in my hand or words about where it was (some sort of acknowledgment would have been great - as one of the only men I saw working, step up your charm game!) Eventually, I heard someone call out that a grilled cheese and chicken soup were ready, so I grabbed it after more awkward shuffling and left. No employee had asked me if it was for here or to go, so it was all just thrown in a brown paper bag, and I mean that. Got less than 2 minutes away and due to a poorly closed lid, my soup had leaked on the bottom of the bag which was instantly disintegrating and everything proceeded to fall out. So I've got half my soup on the ground, but at least I have my grilled cheese! Unfortunately, it's not even close to delicious, with the exception of the bread. The cheese seems like a small upgrade from Kraft. It's also tiny (I'd really like to know what their sizes are, I still don't understand). The soup is not half bad, except it was cold by the time I sat down to eat it, and the noodles are super thick and fall apart (not a personal favorite). I'll give them at least a star for the broth and good portions of chicken and veggies. Seeing as I paid almost $15 for this meal which is OUTRAGEOUS, it had fallen on the sidewalk, and it was just not very good, I figured I should go back and say something, but alas, I have no receipt because I didn't want to deal with entering my email or phone number and I had already spent a fair amount just getting the food. TLDR; I do not have plans on returning here even though I'm sure the staff are nice enough when it's earlier and not so busy (looks like it may have even been run by a family, which I approve). I was personally shocked at the prices and lack of quality of their most staple food items, plus they have limited open hours and no website to check what soups are available. If you do go, go very early afternoon, get it for 'here', and you might luck out with chili or their salads.

    They are quick and clean. The staff are friendly as well. I was there in a sunny day and tried their soup, and still hit the spot!

    Got the chicken with wild rice and wasn't impressed. The prices are really high for the quality of the soups. I'll stick with Panera.

The menu is quite small with three cold sandwiches and three hot ones, each inspired by a different region of the globe with the South Pacific, South America and Mediterranean as a few examples. There were two salads listed as well. I've been here twice and both times, when I went to place my order on the iPad, the menu stated they were out of stock for the sandwich that I wanted. However, when I asked the employee, she said that was not correct. So if you see the same message when ordering, it's worth asking about it! During my first visit, I ordered the RENDANG ($14). This hot sandwich came packed with SO much meat! Very tender chunks of marinated beef tasted of coconut, curry and warm spices. The flavor had true depth and I could actually taste hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Thin spears of pickled cucumber and carrot added crunch and a perfect zing of acidity. They were refreshing and cut through the rich beef. A drizzle of Sambal Terasi (chili) aioli gave it another layer of flavor. Cilantro, mint and Thai basil were all fresh and vibrant. The bread was lightly toasted, being a little crinkly in texture without being harsh against my gums. If I could change something, I would include a couple extra slices of the cucumber to balance out the ratio of vegetables to meat, and add a bit more of the aioli. Other than that, this is a great sandwich influenced by flavors of the South Pacific. My companion got the STEAK sandwich ($15) and enjoyed it. The steak slices were thinly cut and tender as well. They do their beef right! On another occasion, I tried the PROSCIUTTO ($14), one of their cold sandwiches. The delicate layers of prosciutto were placed on top of sliced tomatoes, pickled onion and arugula, all between pressed focaccia bread. Truffle mustard was spread on both pieces of bread, which was WAY too much in my opinion. With this mustard having a stronger flavor, it overpowered the sandwich and made it too tangy, especially in combination with the pickled onions. The menu stated this should include pistachios, but I didn't notice any, and they were all out of provolone, so there was also an absence of cheese. For the prices, these sandwiches are pretty generous in size, so I consider them a good deal, especially for the Bellevue area. The ingredients are fresh and make for a fantastic lunch option. While I wasn't a huge fan of the Prosciutto sandwich, I'd definitely go back again for another Rendang!
